Powerball Jackpot Hits Estimated $593 Million Ahead of Drawing

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $593 million for the next drawing on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025. This follows a series of rollovers, with the jackpot rising close to $600 million after no one matched all six numbers in previous drawings.

The current jackpot has rolled over 29 times since the last big win on Sept. 6, when tickets purchased in Fredericksburg, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, won a record-breaking $1.787 billion.

Players have a 1 in 292.2 million chance of winning the jackpot, a staggering number that often leads to speculation on whether a $2 ticket could make someone a multimillionaire. The one-time cash option for the upcoming drawing is set at $277.6 million.

Powerball drawings occur at 11 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. The winning numbers for the last Powerball drawing on Nov. 19 were 10, 31, 49, 51, 68, with a Powerball of 19, and a Power Play of 2x.

In the most recent drawing on Nov. 17, one lucky ticket purchased in West Virginia matched five numbers, earning a $1 million prize. In addition to the Powerball excitement, the Mega Millions jackpot also saw an increase, now standing at $60 million after resetting from $50 million.

For those considering a ticket, it’s important to know that tickets can be purchased at various locations including gas stations, convenience stores, and some grocery stores, or ordered online in certain states. Each ticket costs $2, with an additional $1 for the Power Play option.

The Florida Lottery advises winners to claim prizes within 180 days, while cash option claims must be made within the first 60 days after the drawing date. Additionally, Florida law requires that lottery winners’ names and other information become public record, although there are some exemptions for larger prizes.

As this winter season unfolds, many hope for a fortunate end to the year, turning a simple purchase into a life-changing outcome.
